Unlocking the Nutritional Value of Rice Bran

The Value of RIBT’s Proprietary and Patented Technologies

Rice bran has traditionally been a low value byproduct of rice milling directed mostly to animal feed

 The enzyme lipase causes raw rice bran to degrade quickly after milling

 RIBT’s proprietary and patented technologies allow us to stop the degradation and “convert feed to food”

 Our technologies provide a vast renewable and sustainable source of healthy, whole food nutrition without the need for additional farming
